THE  RAVEN 


INCLUDING  the  PHILOSOPHY  OF 
COMPOSITION.  By  Edgar  Allan 
Poe.  Probably  the  greatest  short 
poem  in  American  literature, — 
certainly  Poe's  chef  d'oeuvre,  and 
one  of  those  rare  and  inconceivable  mas- 
terpieces wherein  the  craftsman's  skill 
is  forgotten  in  the  perfection  of  his 
art, —  combined  with  a  prose  essay  of 
commanding  critical  and  literary  inter- 
est, being  a  faithful  exposition  (pre- 
sumably), by  the  poet,  of  his  modus 
operandi  in  composing  THE  RAVEN.  Com- 
ing from  Poe's  own  hand  and  written 
in  his  most  felicitous  style,  it  is  felt 
that  no  other  introduction  to  the  poem 
could  be  more  happily  conceived  or  exe- 
cuted,—  although  it  is  indeed  possible, 
as  some  critics  assert,  that  this  supposed 
analysis  is  purely  fictitious.  But  if  so, 
it  becomes  all  the  more  distinctive  as  a 
marvelous  bit  of  imaginative  writing, 
and  as  such  ranks  equally  with  that 
wild  snatch  of  melody,  THE  RAVEN.

CHRISTMASSE  TYPE 

BOOK  of  seasonable  quotations 
pertaining  to  the  joys;  cus- 
toms and  traditions  of  the 
holidays  from  Christmas 
Eve  onward  to  Twelfth 
Night.  Compiled  by  Jennie  Day  Haines, 
from  various  sources  old  and  new.  At 
Christmas,  play  and  make  good  cheer, 
For  Christmas  comes  but  once  a  year. ' ' 
Christmas-tide,  we  are  told,  "the 
twelve  days  of  Christmas,"  embraces 
the  period  between  Christmas  Eve, 
December  24th,  and  Epiphany,  or 
Twelfth  Night,  January  6th.  Great  as 
the  feast  of  Christmas  is,  nothing  can 
be  definitely  traced  as  to  its  origin ;  no- 
body knows  who  first  celebrated  it,  or 
when,  or  where,  or  how.  Yet  of  all 
red-letter  days  of  the  calendar  none  is 
so  generally  observed,  none  brings  with 
it  such  universal  joy  and  good- will  and 
none  has  been  so  generously  memorial- 
ized in  verse  and  song  as  this  holy  day. 
The  quotations  are  grouped  under  such 
headings  as  <fYe  Yule  Log,"  "Ye 
Christmasse  Waytes,"  "Ye  Wassaile 
Bowie, "  "  Christmasse  Lullabies, ' ' 
"Christmasse  Customs."  The  frontis- 
piece, a  charming  conception  of  mother 
love,  is  done  by  Gordon  Ross. 

Set  in  bold-face  Washington  Text  and 
handsomely  printed  in  red  and  black  upon 
cream  Normandy  vellum.  The  typogra- 
phy, including  intricate  rule  work,  is  con- 
ceived in  old  missal  style.  Bound  in  A  ncona 
Italian  handmade  boards,  cream  back.  Gilt 
top.  Boxed.  *$2.00  net.  Postage,  14  cents.

AKE,  O    North  Wind;  and 
come,  thou    South;    blow 
upon  my  garden,  that  the 
spices    thereof   may    flow 
out,"  sang   Solomon,  and 
since    his    day    many    another    garden 
rhapsodist  has  sung  his  psalm  of  praise 
for  the   garden  or  the  favored  flower. 
Jennie  Day  Haines  has    gathered    to- 
gether the  choicest  of  these  songs  and

OPINIONS 

A  OK  of  quotations  weather- 
wise  and  otherwise  perti- 
nent  to  seasonable  condi- 
tions, with  original  inter- 
leaves on  weather  subjects. 
By  Jennie   Day  Haines.    In  e very-day 
life,  there  is  perhaps  no  topic  that  con- 
cerns   us    so    nearly    as    the    weather. 
Under  its  various  aspects,  it  is  a  never- 
failing    subject    for    discussion,    about 
which  but  few  entirely  agree.  However, 
as  one  wise  observer  remarks:  "  'Tain't 
no  use  to  grumble  and  complain:    It's 
jest  as  easy  to  rejoice:  When  God  sorts 
out  the  weather,  and  sends  rain,  Why, 
rain's  my  choice." 

The  compiler's  choice  of  selection 
has  been  wide.  There  are  fair-weather 
quotations  and  rainy-day  quotations, 
bits  of  June  sky  and  flurries  of  Novem- 
ber snow, —  storm-proof  philosophy,  old 
rhymes  and  proverbs,  quaint  signs  and 
notions,  interesting  facts, — all  properly 
classified, —  forming  a  most  entertaining 
and  instructive  collection  of  weather 
lore.  From  a  clear  sunset  I  can  always 
borrow  God's  sweet  half  promise  of  a  fair 
tomorrow." 

The  color  scheme  and  typography  of 
this  volume  are  striking,  harmonious  and 
effective.  Set  in  Washington  Text  and 
printed  in  green  and  brown,  with  interleaves 
in  red  and  black  upon  Normandy  vellum. 
Strongly  bound  in  Fabriano  handmade

PRELUDE 

When  the  air  k  soft  and  warm 
And  the  tun's  aglou), 

Get  your  trusty  overshoes, 

It's  pretty  sure  fo  snow. 

When  the  ska  is  oeercasl 

I  i 

And  the  wind  b  high, 

You  want  to  take  precautions  'gainst 

A  sunstroke  ly  and  tu. 

The  weather's  easy  to  foretell 

In  moments  such  as  these; 



It's  sure  to  rain  or  mow  or  thato. 

' 

Or  get  red  hot  or  freeze. 

_ 

As  a.  rule  a  man's  a  fool; 

When  it'*  hot  he  wants  it  cool; 

And  when  it's  cool  he  wants  il  koi  — 
Always  wanting  u)hat  is  not.

"Think  you  at  night  when  at  my  prayers  I  kneel, 
That  only  thoughts  celestial  through  me  steal  ? "

ABELARD  AND 
HELOISE 

THE  Love  Letters  of  these 
great    and    historic    lovers, 
sympathetically  interpreted, 
are  presented  in  a  series  of 
love  lyrics  by  Ella  Costillo 
Bennett.     The    period    chosen    is   that 
subsequent  to  their  final  separation  and 
mutual  renouncement  of  the  world,  and 
precedent  to  that   during  which  their 
correspondence  was  largely  confined  to 
theological  discussion. 

The  making  of  this  book  is  distinguished 
by  the  beauty  of  handmade  materials, 
well-conceived  typography  and  appropri- 
ate binding.  The  text  in  Caslon  old-style

An  Enclosed  Garden.   Frontispiece  to  THE  GARDEN  BOOK  OF  CALIFORNIA 

"Now  there  was  ...  a  garden  fair .  . .  Walled  all  about ;  and  so  with  trees  close  set,  Was  all  the  place  . . 
That  no  one  though  he  were  near  walking  by,  Might  there  within  scarce  any  one  espy." 


THE  GARDEN  BOOK 
OF  CALIFORNIA 

FOR  garden-makers  and  home- 
builders.    By  Belle  Sumner 
Angier.      Not    a     technical 
treatise  on  local  botany,  nor 
a  descriptive  work  composed 
of  flowery  language,  but  the  kind  and 
manner  of  book  to  interest  and  assist 
anybody  who  has  a  garden  and  loves  it, 
or,  having  none,  longs  mightily  to  toil 
with    rake,    spade,    trowel,    hose    and 
sprinkling-pot    upon  a   little    patch    of 
ground  all  his  own. 

Beautifully  illustrated  and  decorated. 
A  good  book  to  take  up  when  tired, 
for  it  is  as  full  of  refreshment  as  a  real 
garden  of  flowers.
